Elyse Knowles on life after The Block

One half of The Block’s most recent winning couple, Elyse Knowles, hasn’t stopped. Since filming Nine’s hugely popular renovation show, Knowles has been in a whirlwind of photos shoots, charity work, renovations and taking on a new health ambassador role. She sat down with TODAY to talk about life after The Block.

“2017 was a busy year, but I’m pretty sure 2018 is a little more hectic but I’m really loving it,” says the model and renovation queen.

Josh and Elyse have moved into a new home in Melbourne and are in the “planning stage” of their next renovation.

“It’s the nice part, where you can actually sit down, relax and [un]wind,” she explains. It’s the perfect time for her busy schedule.

Carl Stefanovic admits that The Block is his favourite show to watch on TV, saying that a lot of couples who watch the show think ‘I can do this.’

He asks Elyse her number one piece of advice for couples taking on a renovation, “because it can destroy couples as well.”

“It is pretty hard, obviously you need to do it with a partner that you love – and you can take,” laughs Elyse.

“It is a stress and I think it’s all about having a positive mind frame,” she explains. “If you can get through things together, as a couple, then you’re in it.”

“It brings you to breaking point, pretty much the whole time, and you’re running on adrenaline”

Georgie Gardener asks, “Would you do [The Block] again?”

“Ooh this is a tough question!” Elyse chuckles. “I don’t know, I’d have to definitely think about it. But I’m doing my own Block series – on my own home! That’s enough for now.”

So what’s next for the blonde bombshell?

Elyse has already taken on a hosting role with Nine’s Postcards, and just signed on as an ambassador for Vital All-In-One greens powder.

The couple are going strong, “Josh is well,” she says and they’re “back into working, planning their next renovations, and starting up JE Projects, which is exciting.”

Elyse also hints at a potential US opportunities, as she’s heading there end of May “for some meetings” but she stays tight lipped. “It’s good to think broad and push yourself outside your comfort zone.”
